Michelle Malkin misses the Cuba story

Michelle Malkin writes a column about the horrific conditions faced by journalists around the world and amazingly, she omits a mention of Cuba — the worst violator of press and free expression rights in the Americas, if not the world. Malkin is more shrill than brilliant, but her failure to include a mention of Cuba and its more than two dozen imprisoned journalists is symptomatic of how most Americans are ignorant, willfully or otherwise, of the horrors of Castro's gulag just 90 miles off our shores.

Sadly, too many of my journalist colleagues in this country are equally unaware.

However, Malkin, who is no friend of dictators, should have known better.

Fortunately, one of her readers did, and reminded her of what she missed.
